Get the most performance and life out of ANY computer + Q&A

Very long, but - this video is a real game changer in the way you can tighten down security and performance with saver options to your pocket. I'm a follower - thanks mate!!!

Nobody defrags now unless they have a HDD.

Good stuff on this channel. Subscribed.

Thank You, for your informational video. Such as Ad blocker for edge! I had always used Firefox, and Google, now only Edge. Thank You. I got my nephew 17years old to listen to you.

Thanks alot for putting up this video

You are a great teacher Thankyou. I am a complete novice so appreciate these vids. Trying to sort battery at the moment. PC keeps saying "battery low plug in your pc now " So bloody annoying cos plugged in any way !!!

Nearing the end. One thing that pops in my mind regarding leaving the old PC on instead of turning it off... it depends on how old it is and what OS it runs on. Windows10 has funny settings that just turning off the PC won't stop the background apps running. It is more like a sleep mode. Restarting the PC really helped to speed up things that were sluggish for clogging up memory with unused stuff. I noticed this when my PC played up before the reinstallation. I had a habit of hibernating it, which was probably similar to switching it off o Win10. I couldn't do simple things, browser loaded a page for ages, often suddenly, after it ran smoothly when I logged in, initially. Then it didn't. Restarting made it work faster like by a miracle, just restarting it sometimes took ages itself. Until it had the hiccups again, and I noticed it happened often after it was hibernating for over 24 hours. If I sat to it and did something within every 24 hours it lasted longer before I had to restart it to be able to work on it. This could be due to two unrelated issues though, but it is a known fact now that just switching Win10 off won't stop the stuff and turning it on again won't start fresh. Restart does that.

Remember to stop your fans with tape, a pencil or something, before blowing them out so you don't backfeeed high voltage from the fan motors turning into generators causing damage.

Q: Why not use the inbuilt MS optimise drives software rather than defragger? Thanks for all your videos

Q: if you have a SSD that reports as highly fragmented but the defrag software warns against defragging it should you go forward with defragmenting the drive

Great video thank you. With Ccleaner, you can expect it to disable your sound (major pain in the ass and have to reset computer to bring it back) Used to use it a lot, now i dont bother.

Good video. A ? I have is: Is Tweak SSD free a good optimiser programme for SSD drives please. I can't seem to find a lot of info re this programme and as I have SSD drives, I'm wondering whether tweak SSD would be a good option to defrag or optimise my computer please.

that duster would be good for woodworking too

You can not change to a local account anymore… although you can still create a local account, you will have to install and set up everything from scratch. I literally spent days trying to duplicate my profile with no luck.

Great video with lots of super useful info! I have a question though since I just got a new computer with SSD. Since you are not supposed to defragment, does that also mean that you should not shred files because of the multiple passes that it takes? Thanks for this video and I am definitely going to check out some of your others.

My final note, regarding that compressed air... I don't know, I have some aversion against it. While it may clean up a large portion of the internal parts by blowing the dust out, the chance is some might get stuck somewhere where we don't want it to and cause troubles. This was advised against regarding my Scan'n'cut machine when somebody suggested using this compressed air tool. It could be a hard detective work to look for a lump of dust stuck somewhere. Sucking it out with a bit more powerful tool could probably do a better job, agitating the parts with a fine brush to release it, if there is something of this kind of a vacuumer. The same for my keyboard (it shouldn't pull individual keys out of their slot, and if it did, we know where to look for them and push them back in LOL).

Thanks for the information. What program do you use for duplicate photos?

I know you mostly work with PCs, but am curious if you know if Avast will work on Apple computer/ipads?

???? I have the Hp all-in-one Pavilion, which runs very slow. I tried to run the Quick Defrag. Status: Current state: 783 Fragmented files, 3093 Total Fragments, 11%Fragmentation. It appears that the program is running, but after a period of the time ,the program stops showing that aborted. A suggestions?

Question about Defraggler. If I have and SSD instead of an HDD, there are no moving parts. It all happens with addresses. Is it worth cutting down the life of my SSD to defragment the SSD when the address switching happens almost instantly? As I understand it writing to my SSD reduces its lifespan a lot faster than reading it does. Which is better in the long run?
